Bachelorette Weekend

The host always answered in a timely matter, check-in was easy, the parking was spacious, and the hot tub was an added bonus. We came for a bachelorette party and it was perfect for us! The kitchen had everything we needed and there were plenty of towels! Plus, it was close to downtown Traverse City just a 10 minute drive!

This house was perfect for our family of 5 (all adults), visiting for a family wedding in Traverse City. The house had everything we needed and plenty of space, with the bonus of a lovely hot tub out on the patio! It was also super convenient for picking people up at the airport - only a 2 minute drive!

Close enough to downtown but far enough away for solitude

The property comfortably slept seven adults with a couple of air mattresses we brought. The interior was comfortable, light, and airy, and the kitchen table was perfect for our UNO card games. We enjoyed the backyard daily and having no adjacent property was great for our privacy. The hot tub was a definite added bonus. Thanks to Patricia for being a responsive and pleasant hostess. Would definitely rent this property again.
